Transmigrating as the Third Hokage: Make Konoha Great Again!

"First, absolute loyalty to the Hokage; second, death for any leaks."

Hyuga Hizashi listened attentively.

At this moment, he felt an unparalleled sense of belonging to his job in the Dark Division.

No matter what, we must do our job well and keep going to protect this hard-won freedom.

"Received, Lord Sakumo!" Hyuga Hizashi stood ramrod straight.

"As for your specific team, we'll arrange that after the assessment... You need to be prepared."

Sakumo Hatake stood up leisurely: "Danzo's assistance is very strict."

Hyuga Hizashi's expression turned slightly bitter.

But then he became resolute: "I will definitely pass the training with excellent results!"

Hyuga Hizashi reached out his hand towards the 'cow' mask.

The saying goes that those who separate from the main family must work tirelessly and without complaint to support the main family, a phrase often uttered by the elders of the Hyuga generation.

But he's different now...

His gaze shifted to the eagle mask, an animal symbolizing freedom…

"No, it's still 'awesome'!"

Hyuga Hizashi gripped the edge of the mask tightly, thinking to himself, "As long as I can have this freedom, I'm willing to be a 'cow' for the village!"

"Okay, put on the mask and the clothes. Now I'll take you to carry out our first mission."

"This is the Hokage's first mission, so don't mess it up."

Sakumo Hatake put on a mask, wore a white overalls over it, and draped a beige trench coat that symbolized his status as a squad leader.

Hyuga Hizashi nodded repeatedly, carefully changing into his ANBU uniform as if afraid of damaging it.

"Target: Hyuga clan territory."

"Mission: Inform the main family that you have joined the Anbu, and convey the Hokage's concern for them. If there are any thoughts that are inconvenient to report directly, they can be conveyed through you."

Sakumo Hatake patted Hizashi Hyuga on the shoulder: "You are the protagonist of this mission."

Hyuga Hizashi was first stunned, then overjoyed.

He was thinking about how to tell the Hyuga clan in a tactful and elegant way that he was a member of the Anbu.

Did I not expect the Hokage to have considered even this aspect?

The saying goes, "To return home in wealth and honor is like wearing fine clothes at night!"

Isn't this mission just a stage specially set up for him by the three generations of masters?

Otherwise, given the special nature of the Dark Guard, he wouldn't be able to return to his clan's territory in this outfit and openly display his current identity...

"Remember, you are from the Dark Division."

"You need to be careful with your posture and tone, don't lose face, Japanese sir."

Sakumo Hatake strapped the white dagger to his waist.

Although the Dark Guard is theoretically supposed to maintain a secret identity, at his level, everything becomes known the moment he makes a move…

The best way to keep secrets is to kill the other person.

A moment later.

Richa and Shuo Mao arrived at their clan's territory.

One of the clan members, who happened to be at the door and patrolling, asked with considerable dissatisfaction, "Why hasn't that brat, Rishima, returned yet? The old man is getting impatient!"

His name is Hyuga Takashi.

He had no particular talent and was a typical example of someone who was designated as the head of the family simply because he was born early.

He was quite arrogant and believed that even if he lacked talent, as the head of the main family, he was protected by his ancestors and was born to manage and command the branch families.

"Send him to check on the situation. He's been gone for so long! Does he think he can do whatever he wants just because he's Hiashi's brother?"

"As a member of the branch family, you have absolutely no manners!" Hyuga Takashi vented his anger.

The two Hyuga branch family members beside him remained silent, their eyes downcast.

"This is truly bizarre. The Hyuga clan is actually like this... These aren't ninjas, they're nobles and slaves!" Hatake Sakumo thought to himself, quite moved by this rare sight.

"If it weren't for the domineering nature of the caged bird, the branch family and the main family would have been fighting each other long ago, right?"

And at this moment.

Hinata Takashi turned his head and was startled.

Two masked operatives appeared silently in front of him without him noticing.

"Gentlemen, is there anything I can help you with?" Hinata Takashi asked with a smile.

He didn't want to offend the Anbu, especially after seeing Sakumo Hatake's beige trench coat...

This is a very important person.

"Lead the way to the Hyuga clan chief."

Hyuga Hizashi's lips curled into a wide smile beneath his mask, but his voice was cold and stern: "By order of the Hokage!"

Explanation of settings!

Let's talk about the Hyuga main family.

On this point, Kishimoto's setting is indeed contradictory. First, he said that there was "only one main family," but in the manga, there are scenes with multiple people when the main family gathers, and none of them have the Caged Bird on their foreheads.

Other main families also appear in the setting book.

Therefore, the setting here is that the Hyuga clan is a large clan, divided into several branches, and one head family is chosen from each branch.

Xiao Fan's update schedule has been a bit irregular lately, but the word count is guaranteed; although each chapter is long, they are all long chapters.

I saw that some readers have also suggested that Xiaofan should figure out a fixed time!

010 Enviable Freedom, and the Lingering Problems Between the Uchiha and Konoha

"Understood! You two, please follow me..."

Hyuga Takashi sensed that the voices of the Anbu members were somewhat familiar, but he didn't have time to think about it. He instructed the branch family members beside him: "You two go and inform the clan head!"

The gatekeeper carried out orders without uttering a word, like a puppet.

"Will the main family lead the way for me?"

Looking at Hyuga Takashi's smiling face, who seemed to be trying to make a good impression on him, Hyuga Hizashi felt a mix of emotions.

This appearance is truly appalling...

He didn't want to be like the main family, inexplicably superior to others; he just wanted to live as an independent individual.

only.

Seeing this side of Hyuga Takashi, who used to be so arrogant in the clan's territory.

Hyuga Hizashi couldn't help but feel a sense of pleasure.

This scene proves it.

—The main family, or at least a significant portion of the main family, is merely putting on a show of power in front of the branch family by virtue of being a caged bird!

In the outside world, if you don't have the ability, this identity means nothing!

The reception room in the clan's territory.

Hyuga Tenzo, the head of the Hyuga clan and Hyuga Hizashi's biological father.

He sat upright in the main seat, waiting for Sakumo and Hizashi to arrive.

Below them were several members of the main family discussing the situation, as well as members of the branch families who, as usual, accompanied them and acted as guards.

Seeing the two step into the reception room, Hyuga Tenzo slowly stood up, his smile official and friendly, and walked over: "Gentlemen, what brings you to my Hyuga clan's territory today?"

"Did the third generation give any instructions?"

Hyuga Hizashi stared intently at his father.

Watching his father get up from his seat and walk towards him.

And that smile…

These were all things he had never seen before.

Meanwhile, Hyuga Tenzo was also pondering the intentions of the Anbu.

What happened?

He witnessed the fight between Hiruzen Sarutobi and Orochimaru.

As the clan leader, he was certainly not a good-for-nothing like Hyuga Takashi; his Byakugan skills were among the best in the clan.

It's not a big deal if there are one or two incompetent members of the clan who hold positions without doing any work.

The Hyuga clan is large and wealthy, and can afford to support them.

All that's needed is to carefully select a successor.

Hyuga Tenzo was quite surprised.

Although the Hyuga clan rarely uses the Byakugan at full power within the village to avoid suspicion, there are always opportunities for Hyuga Tenzo to capture the state of important figures.

For example, today.

In his Byakugan, Hiruzen Sarutobi's meridian vitality and chakra abundance appeared as if he had become more than ten years younger...

How did that old guy do it?

Therefore, he waited anxiously for Hyuga Hizashi's report and asked Hyuga Takashi many times whether Hyuga Hizashi had returned.

To maintain neutrality, allowing the Hyuga to enjoy the protection of the Hidden Village without having to exert themselves and bleed...

However, it is necessary to maintain a keen understanding of the situation in the village...
